At all stages in life, oral health contributes to general health and quality of life. Good oral health positively impacts a child’s ability to learn, attend school and eat nutritious foods while aiding in proper growth and development.
As a teacher/educator, you are in a unique position to provide the education, guidance, and motivation necessary to help your students establish positive oral health habits.
The OHEG is a tool that will enable you to teach oral health, as it links oral health education and resources to applicable learning blocks and strands found in The Ontario Curriculum, Grades 1-8.
An oral health education kit entitled the “Reach and Teach Kit” is available for your use. It contains interactive educational resources for teachers/educators and resources which can be photocopied and given to parents.
To borrow a Reach and Teach Kit, please call your respective Library Services/Resource Centre or Halton Region’s Oral Health program at oralhealth@halton.ca.
If you have questions or comments regarding this tool, please contact oralhealth@halton.ca.
